Motorcycle Section (Page 2)

An Observed Run covers about 45 miles or 1 hour 30 minutes, plus debriefing, depending on the nature of the selected route, traffic conditions and stops for comments and suggestions. You will be followed by your Observer on his own motorcycle and, as all Observers give their time freely and provide their own motorcycles to accompany you on the runs, the Inverness Group have agreed the above fee to defray the Observer’s expenses.

When your Observer considers you have reached the test standard a further “Check run” will be arranged with one of the Senior Observers within the Group who will then highlight any areas of weakness or tell you to submit your Test Ready form to IAM Headquarters.  The number of Observed Runs needed to achieve the required standard will vary from person to person but whatever it takes the end result is well worth the effort.

Your questions answered...
What’s the total cost? £199
When can I enroll? Anytime
I work shifts This is not a problem.  You will be allocated to an observer who will be available.
